Chestnut Mountain ski area, Illinois

  I learned to ski at Chestnut Mountain, it's really good to go and learn at a local place like this before you go to the Rockies, so you don't waste time on the bunny slope over there. says Lisa Taylor.

Chestnut Mountain is a normal size ski resort with a medium altitude difference when you compare it to other ski hills in the region. Chestnut Mountain has lower than average snow each snow season. This ski mountain has a much lower than average share of hard trails and a much higher than average fraction of easy
    runs. Chestnut Mountain has the most sizeable altitude difference for 77 miles. This ski area has a modest mixture of runs and not too many lifts. Loads of skiers from Clinton like to ski here. The 17 ski runs at this ski resort are stunning. Every ski season
this ski area gets 4 feet of ice cold snow, and that is naturally not first-class, but not that bad either. There's 139 acres of terrain, and it's all blanketed by snow. There are lots of brilliant lodgings to select from, but do book a room previous to going given that it is a very popular destination. The wintertime months in Illinois is the most magnificent time of the year for skiing or snowboarding. There are 4 lifts here, and they will get you up the slope well. A 475 foot altitude difference is naturally not  
that much, but Chestnut Mountain has so many other wonderful attributes. Skiing and snowboarding in this part of the country is a lot of fun all winter long. Whether you're skiing or snowboarding, in this general neighborhood, you'll discover lots of ski areas. Chestnut Mountain is a great location for the whole family with scores of beginner and intermediate trails. Tremendous exercise and an opportunity to spend some time in nature will have you coming back for more.
